I am hoping to find an answer pretty soon to this question because I think I'm pretty close to getting pptpd to work on my SuSE server, and I have spent a great deal of time searching around for an answer. Here it goes:

Configuration

SuSE 9.0 Linux server which handles the DSL connection and acts as a router/gateway to the LAN. SuSEfirewall2 is running and masquerading is turned on. The interfaces are as follows:

eth0 -- internal interface
ppp0 -- external interface
ppp1 -- vpn interface

LAN -- 192.168.0.0

server vpn address : 192.168.255.1
remote vpn address: 192.168.254.100-105

Everything is working fine and I don't get any errors in the logs i.e. I can connect and authenticate successfully to the tunnel, until I try to ping the pptp server or anything on the other network from my remote computer
(192.168.254.100). I suspect it is some kind of routing issue with the firewall configuration and iptables.

Not sure what I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
You may try giving a search on "routing howto" u may be able to get ur answer. Can you please tell me how u setup a vpn connection. I am running SUSE 9.0 professional as a external firewall. I need to connect to my internal server through a hardware firewall which is a firebox. Please can you provide the solution u used it will be very helpful since I m running out of time.
